Child custody

My daughter is 19 yrs and has a 2 yr old. she has physical and legal custody of her baby and his father has weekend visits every other week.the father has a criminal record with terroristic threats to my daughter and simple assault against her. he also has aggravated assault and drug charges unrelated to my daughter. the problem is that when he gets mad at her he threatens to take her to court to take the baby away from her. can he do this? also she works as a stripper and lately he has made excuses for not having his weekend visits and then claims we aren't following the court order and letting him see or talk to the child.also he has begun seeing a ex-friend of my daughters who stole money from her checking account and whose mother and this girl herself made threats against my daughter,she doesn't want the baby visiting overnight to his father or exposing the baby to this person.what can she do?

For one it is very difficult for a father to win a custody case over a mother even when he is perfect, which it sounds like he is not. So although he can certainly try to go to court to get custody, his chances of winning are probably very slim given his history.

As for not wanting to expose the baby to the other person that sounds like she wants to change the court order that gives him some rights. She can't just decide she wants to do this because of the court order so she must go back to court or at least some form of mediation to get this done. Her best bet is to speak with a lawyer to see what her rights are and what is involved.
